Happy 10th adoption day to our Arlo! The first picture, 12.31.2008, was when he realized he was home and could claim a blanket for his very own—the smile says it all! The second was taken just now, 12.31.2018, after a day of being spoiled. He had hamburger for dinner, his favorite quilt (his “kitty-cat blanket”) washed with extra fabric softener (he loves the smell as well as the feel), and homemade dog cookies during the day. He is a special boy: he is so kind and considerate, never growls or acts territorial, and lets his much smaller dachshund Ellie walk all over him. He can also say his own name! Arlo Guthrie Hufstedler, we love you, and we are so glad we adopted you.
